Yes, I would agree that selfishness, greed, selfcenteredness are all factors,
I think it is such a wide range of reasons, one is alcohol, one is money one is, it is never ending reasons, But Immaturity I would say covers about 95 percent..... and I mean Adults, Yes, but Immature, meaning NOT EDUCATED IN RELATIONSHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm, Cause of Divorce, Easy. Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus and were never meant to live together, just procreate to continue the species. Someone said Woman does not need man as much as Man needs a Woman. Actually a Woman needs a man to pay the credit card bill from her trips to the mall.
tainogirl: Just wanted to know from those that have gone through a divorce, what they think are some of the leading causes of divorce. What are some of the signs to look for that a marriage is on the brink?

I think all of the points you put in the poll are valid, while at the same time none is the 'definite' answer.
A factor that has certainly contributed in more divorces/separations is that while in the past women were dependent on their husbands to 'earn the daily bread', nowadays women are more independent, and if their relationship is going nowhere, it's no problem to part ways in that regard.
Now before women jump on me for being chauvinistic, I'm not saying that women working and being independent is a bad thing, it's just that it's been a factor in making separations/divorces easier.
Also, it used to be taboo for a person to be divorved in the past, nowadays it's seen as not being such a big deal.

I totally agree with you! Never been divorced but have seen it time and again in relationships!

I haven't been married but hopefully it's okay to leave a few thoughts anyway.
IMO if you had to choose one factor, it would be a disparity between the expectations and the reality. I don't think many people marry thinking it won't last - I'm sure all are loved up and determined to defy the stats, certain that their marriage will be different. Ultimately though, if the marriage is wildly different from what you expected or hoped, it's easy to understand why couples become so miserable.
RillyNiceGuy: People are not able to love beyond themselves. They love another the same as a car.....as long as they provide to them.....they are kept.
I think that sadly is part of the human pyshcological makeup, and extends even to many other animals in the mammals family.
Take for example a child, why does a newborn develop a deep bond with its mother? It's because the mother feeds it and cares for it.
A child who is raised by surrogate parents will not have the same bond of love to its mother most of the time (ok, there are exceptions to this rule).
Now in a marriage there are no blood ties, just that very difficult to fathom feeling called 'love', which is more often than not simple chemical lust, and once that wears off, the grudges and grumbling start to surface.
Take a look at many couples who have been married for most of their life. Sure, they still love each other, but they'll spend as much time fighting each other as being loving.

Ooops, should have added 'will not have the same bond of love to its natural mother' there.
